Bassist Jerry Knight, born in 1955, was a founding member of Raydio and remained with them until 1980. Knight had previously played with Bill Withers before being invited by Ray Parker, Jr. It was Knight's lead vocal on the group's first hit Jack and Jill. Knight left for a solo deal with A&M in 1980. But while Overnight sensation and Perfect fit each made the R&B Top 20, none of his LPs generated consistent sales, and Knight departed the label in 1983. He recorded with Polydor in 1984 as half of a duo known as Ollie And Jerry. Knight also enjoyed some success as a composer, writing Tonight for The Whispers . He produced Howard Hewett's Challenge, and has done bass work on many sessions.
